We believe sargassum isn’t just a threat, it's untapped energy. By converting golden tides into renewable fuel, we’re not only mitigating environmental harm, we’re powering a regenerative future for the Caribbean.
At Mermaid Energy, our process is designed to respond swiftly and sustainably to the sargassum crisis, transforming it from coastal threat to clean fuel. With the right tools and timing, we transform this seaweed surge into sustainable fuel, protecting coastlines, powering communities, and helping Caribbean nations step closer to 100% clean energy. It’s a circular process that leaves no waste behind. And, our system can replace up to 30%+ of fossil fuel use in the region.
We start with the science. Using real-time satellite data, ocean models, and on-the-ground intel, we monitor incoming sargassum blooms. This forecasting gives us a head start so we can mobilize teams early and coordinate harvesting before the seaweed becomes a shoreline crisis.
Before the blooms hit critical mass, we deploy specialized equipment to remove sargassum swiftly, safely, and with minimal disruption. We harvest right at the tipping point, where nature’s gift turns into ecological threat, safeguarding coral reefs, marine nurseries, tourism, and public health.
Here’s where the magic happens. Onboard our processing vessels, sargassum is converted into clean, renewable fuel using proprietary methods tailored for its unique salty, moisture-rich makeup. We maximize energy output while minimizing waste, turning a marine menace into climate-forward energy.
The resulting biofuel is delivered directly to regional energy users: utilities, transport fleets, and industrial operators. We’re building strong offtake partnerships that reinvest in the Caribbean economy and accelerate the region’s energy independence.
At Mermaid Energy, we are focused on ways for islands to create resilient energy grids based on 100% renewable energy, with minimized reliance on emitting fuels, even the carbon-neutral ones!
Every part of our approach is designed to be:
We’re not just solving a problem. We’re designing a better, bluer future.
By turning ocean overgrowth into island opportunity, we’re proving that renewable innovation can be homegrown, beautiful, and wildly effective.
Whether you’re an investor, partner, policymaker, or just sea-curious—we’d love to connect.
